A personal piece starts with a conversation.
A personal keepsake with hair or fur
A saved lock of hair or a little pet fur can be the starting point for a personal keepsake. Resinista offers jewellery and remembrance pieces with hair or fur, with the design discussed directly with Cathy. You can enquire without having ashes or a finished idea.
Questions and details to consider
Start with the material you already have and the way you would like to keep it close. Would you enjoy wearing a ring or pendant, or prefer something to hold or display at home? Write down those two choices before your first message. This gives Cathy a useful starting point without asking you to settle every detail.
Tell Cathy whether you are interested in jewellery or a keepsake for the home. Ask which available pieces suit the hair or fur you want preserved. The ring and pendant guides linked below explain practical choices such as sizing and chain options.
Questions and details to consider
Think about where the finished piece would fit into your day. For jewellery, consider comfort, your usual style and when you remove it. For a display piece, consider where you would place it and the dimensions you have in mind. If you would rather hold a small keepsake, ask about suitable options instead of choosing a larger piece only from a picture.
Explain whether you want the hair or fur to be discreet or clearly visible. Cathy can discuss suitable colour, placement and combination options for the chosen piece. Ask to see real finished examples when deciding how you would like it to look.
Questions and details to consider
A useful design note might say: "I have a saved lock of hair and would like a subtle pendant, with a silver-coloured finish." Or: "I have some pet fur and would prefer a small keepsake for home." The images here are AI design previews for the planned photography. They are visual ideas rather than photographs of a finished commission.
You can ask Cathy about combining hair or fur with ashes or another suitable inclusion. Describe each material separately and confirm what works in the piece you are considering. A combination needs to be planned around the available design.
Questions and details to consider
If several family members want a keepsake, discuss the complete request before dividing the material. Each person may prefer a different style or inclusion arrangement. Keep a simple list of the requested pieces so Cathy can explain the practical options and quantities. Do not assume a small saved amount will be enough for every proposed piece.
Tell Cathy your approximate budget and ask for a price for the chosen hair or fur keepsake. Memorial rings and pendants have confirmed starting prices of £149 in stainless steel, £189 in solid silver and £299 in solid gold; the final design and delivery details are agreed directly.
Questions and details to consider
Check the piece, material, inclusion and total price together. The stainless steel pendant reference price includes a chain; confirm chain arrangements for other metals separately. For a non-jewellery keepsake, request a quote for the actual design rather than treating jewellery starting prices as a price for every product. The navigation links to the homepage price table for a wider comparison.
Contact Cathy before posting hair, fur or other precious materials. She will explain what is required for your selected piece. Resinista is based in Sudbury, Suffolk and serves families across the UK, with tracked and insured return arrangements.
Questions and details to consider
Ask how to package and identify the material, how much to send and what happens to anything unused. Obtain the destination and current making estimate before preparing a parcel. When choosing a piece, also ask for its care instructions: cleaning, storage and any conditions to avoid. Keep the agreed details in one message so they are easy to refer back to.
Yes. Hair is one of the personal inclusions Resinista works with. Tell Cathy what you have and whether you prefer jewellery or a keepsake, so she can advise on a suitable design.
Can pet fur be preserved in jewellery?
Yes. Resinista offers pieces incorporating fur. Discuss your preferred ring or pendant with Cathy and confirm what suits the inclusion before sending it.
How much hair or fur should I send?
Ask Cathy for the quantity needed for the specific piece and her packaging instructions. Do not cut, divide or post irreplaceable material based on a general estimate.
Can hair or fur be combined with ashes?
Combination pieces can be discussed with Cathy. Explain all the materials you want included so she can confirm what works for the selected design.
How much does a hair or fur keepsake cost?
Ask for a quote for the actual piece. Memorial rings and pendants start at £149 in stainless steel, £189 in solid silver and £299 in solid gold. Other keepsake designs have their own prices.
Can I order from elsewhere in the UK?
Yes. Begin by WhatsApp, phone or email to Cathy. Agree the piece, price and safe sending arrangements first. You do not need to be local to Sudbury to enquire.
